    'Documentary Meets' is an ongoing non-fiction film screening series curated by Emmett Aldred and Keva York, presented in partnership with Composite on the third Thursday of every other month.

    Corresponding to one of a rotating slate of topics relevant to the local calendar and community, each film has been chosen to engender awareness and incite conversation – about pride; sex work; colonisation, et al. – with guest speakers on hand to offer a viewing framework.

    Next up in the series, Documentary Meets 2.01: INFRACTIONS (Rachel O’Reilly, 2019) on Thursday 19th May 2022.
